Banana Cupcakes with Strawberry Mascarpone Frosting

by Kelley Wilson Filed Under: Desserts, Fourth of July, Holiday, Recipes 5 Comments

Hello everyone! Ang here from Juggling Act Mama again to share with you some delicious banana cupcakes with strawberry mascarpone frosting.  Don't let the unique combination of ingredients throw you off, these are out of this world!

Banana Cupcakes with Strawberry Marscapone Frosting. This frosting is amazing!

 

I do a lot of baking for my own blog, of course, but I also make something for just about every bake sale at my children's school. These cupcakes are a nice way to sneak a little extra nutrition into a normally “empty” sweet treat. The bananas add a delicious flavor and texture to the cupcakes, and pair deliciously with the strawberry mascarpone frosting.

 If you're not familiar with it, mascarpone cheese is similar to cream cheese, and it helps give the frosting an amazing richness and texture.

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1-1/2 cups ripe bananas mashed
  • 2 large eggs

  • 4 oz. mascarpone cheese
  • 4 oz butter
  • 2-3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon strawberry jam

Directions

  3. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the dry ingredients.
  4. In another bowl, beat the eggs until fluffy. Whisk in the butter, bananas and vanilla.
  5. Gently mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, taking care not to overmix.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the wells in the muffin pan.

  8. FROSTING:
  9. Remove the butter and the mascarpone from the refrigerator about 1 hour before preparing the frosting.
  10. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the mascarpone and butter until smooth. With the mixer speed on low, add in the strawberry jam, then slowly add in the powdered sugar. You may or may not want a dash of milk depending on the consistency.

    Those cupcakes look great! How many cupcakes does the recipe yield? Have you ever made them as mini cupcakes? If so, again what is the yield and how long do you bake them? I often need to bake around 60 mini cupcakes and always search for new recipes.

    In the ingredient list, it shows baking powder twice. Does it need to be added twice, or is one of them supposed to be baking soda? These look delicious!
